A secluded island paradise set against a backdrop of lush tropical forest, Centara Grand Resort & Villas sits alongside a vast stretch of sandy beach. With a superb choice of six fantastic restaurants and bars, a spa, four stunning swimming pools, two tennis courts and a babysitting service available upon request, this is truly a world apart.

‘Peace, serenity and solitude’ is the mantra here at Centara Grand Resort & Villa with spacious room, suite and villa accommodation. A number of the villas have their own private infinity pools. In the evening, sit on your veranda and watch the deep orange of the setting sun as it disappears over the horizon against a dark blue sea and sky. Paddle in the cooling water along the bright white sandy shore with a gentle sea breeze in your hair.
